Trump Calls Protection "Ridiculous"
Donald Trump has sensationally ended Hunter Biden's Secret Service protection "effective immediately". The President said it was "ridiculous" Joe Biden's son still had 18 agents protecting him – all of whom are paid for by the taxpayer.
Immediate Removal from Protection List
Trump said on Truth Social: "Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for an extended period of time, all paid for by the United States Taxpayer. Please be advised that, effective immediately, Hunter Biden will no longer receive Secret Service protection."
Hunter and Ashley Biden Off the List
He added that Joe Biden's daughter, Ashley, who has 13 agents for protection, will also be "taken off the list". Trump's announcement came just hours after a reporter asked him about Hunter's Secret Service detail.
End of Secret Service Protection
All former presidents and their spouses receive Secret Service protection for their whole lives under federal law – but the protection offered to their immediate families over the age of 16 ends when they leave office. Both Trump and Biden extended the details for their children for six months before leaving office.
Trump's Criticism and Actions
The President slammed Hunter for being on holiday in South Africa whilst using taxpayer money for his protection. He also halted Biden's access to daily intelligence briefings as revenge for Biden doing the same four years ago. Trump added his notorious phrase "YOU'RE FIRED" on Truth Social whilst claiming that Biden no longer needed to "continue receiving access to classified information".
